Thanks to TF and this thread I dug out an old junker I was through with years ago and checked on line to see what it might be worth.
Sold it a few weeks later for eight Canadian boat bucks. Needless to say I paid a small fraction of that for it.
Thank you TF!

I wear the same watch day after day. It is special, as on our 25th anniversary, I bought my wife a bigger diamond for her wedding rings, she bought me a nice watch. 20 more years and counting. She still doesn't need any more diamonds, I don't need a nicer watch.

The photo of the bottom watch looks way more complicated for my few brain cells. Geez
I'd get the cheapest watch that meets your needs so when it goes overboard, you won't be upset.
My wife and I rarely wear jewelry (including watches) when boating: no rings, watches, or necklaces. I used to wear my 24 year old Swiss Army watch but watches are rather uncomfortable in the Florida heat.

The one recurring theme is that no one has mentioned accuracy which is to my mind the reason to have a watch and that being the case balance wheel watches are out which eliminates fine very expensive watches. Strange how the world turns. Generations ago a correct timepiece was imperative to a captain and his boat.

May I suggest a sundial! ��
Once I've been cruising for a few days, I don't even know what day of the week it is. Time of day only matters for bridge openings. That's where the GPS screen comes in handy.
Time can be important in some jobs or professions but not in mine (retired). I just need to show up ahead of doctor's appointments.
Purchased a GMT Master, in my youth for less than 1k. Was a coming of age gift to myself. Never regretted it.
